The weather has finally been glorious for 2 whole days. I had a lazy day today First, I watched the Tour until 11:30 AM. Then, we rode a whopping 4 miles to go to the bank machine and pick up sandwiches for a picnic. I keep forgetting that the Cheese Shop is closed on Sunday and I was craving one of their many unique sandwiches. But we got some chicken pesto wraps somewhere else and rode over to the Old North Bridge and had a picnic on the lawn, under a huge tree by the visitor's center. It was busy there. There was a mobile "tea wagon" parked in the lot, which I didn't know about. I will have to try that out next week. We watched the tourists and counted about 30 cyclists who rode by, as we were eating. One was on a tandem that was recumbent in the front and regular in the second seat. I wouldn't want to be on the front of that one! We also saw a tandem with 2 adults and 2 kids; one in a seat behind the second adult and one in a trailer.
Rode home for a total of 8 miles. Then I went to the pond and read and sat in the sun for 2 hours.
